St. John and Montezuma were my favorite places to visit. It is a pretty easy drive as long as you have a decent 4x4. Had many good times taking people there as it would be their first taste of what 4x4 travel is like and where you could go. I remember driving on a dirt road that ended up to a rocky road just west of the Colorado Sand Dunes that was at a 30-40 degree incline. My friends says, "guess we are at the end of the road." I slammed the the K5 into 4x4 low and said, "we just started!" And there we went up the hill to her screaming.
Last time I was there was over 30 years ago. Should have some old VHS video to convert. I know I have lots of slides as photography was my hobby back then. But there was a house above St. John? Wonder if it was still there? I remember having a picnic in front of it on a first date. In St. John there was a house build with brick brought in from Europe for the assay office. Last time I was there some guy was taking it apart. He was not making any drawings or labeling the wood as he tossed the wood planks around. I thought he said something about rebuilding it as the weather was taking its toll.

Killer trail. Ran it today from top down. Wow !! So fun !!

@@Trailsoffroad yes sir I just did a trip report and photos !!
Awesome... Thank you
We plan on doing St John’s in a couple of weeks. Looks like a fun trail
It's a fun trail with great views. Those climbs are a lot steeper than they look on the camera.
Cameras never do any obstacle justice

Can this be done in a full size truck? Or is a smaller vehicle preferred?
